N?

 

This woody perennial looks just like cabbage with small greyish, glaucous leaves and can be found on the grassy slopes and rocks of the Great Orme. If you take the outer road around the great limestone rock, you can see the plant growing out of cracks and on ledges above your head. Possibly a native according to Stace.
